Interchangability of engine / gearbox to retain std. clocks

[big nick]

Hi guys,

will the gearbox from my rocco (1.5 8valve carb engine) fit an ABF? I'm looking at swapping the engine but I wanna keep the 4+E box and I'm not sure if the ABF box would support the econom indicator and shift indicator on the dash clocks...

Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions,

The gearbox and bell housing will bolt straight to the ABF engine

The shift/eco lights work of the gearbox if i recall so they will both work too

yep, they both work from the box which is why I wanted to keep the old 4+E, as anal as it may be I wanna keep my early clocks and I wanna keep them fully functional while going faster at the same time! I just wasn't sure if my box & bellhousing would bolt to the block...good news that they do! and if i keep my box I don't need to go looking for 100mm flanges or shafts or hubs or any of that nonsense! the only way to make it any easier/cheaper is to use bike carbs so i don't have to worry about running larger dia. fuel lines or fusebox or owt else...

alls I need to do now is go shopping for a block&head, carbs, mani, pump & reg, KR spark contoller/loom...might be time to look at getting hold of some caddy forum brackets to bolt up my G60's, and some crazyquiff brackets to get the ARBs on... oh and does anyone know the best clutch setup for an 8v box on a 16v block? ideally I'd wanna keep the original flywheel from the 1.5, I guess it's a bit lighter than an ABF fly?

sorry for all the questions guys, and cheers for the help!

You can bolt your existing pressure plate to the abf so you can keep the existing flywheel/friction plate. My abf is running a complete rocco (210mm) clutch set up with no issues at all

I have a KR spark contoller up for sale of your interested.....
